The Brewers are up 22-0 over Seattle, and one of those runs came because Julio Rodrรญguez caught the second out and threw it into the stands thinking it was the third.

The president is making US policy friendlier to North Korea and Russia than Canada and Oman. Are you kidding me?
I posted this photo from a Wisconsin bar a year ago today and it still cracks me up. We were all โloosersโ
Had so much regret not seeing this yearโs solar eclipse that we booked a rental today in Tunisia ๐น๐ณ for the 2027 event.

So exciting and then so disappointing.
Plane nerds, why would a plane return to the departure airport when it is closer to the destination airport? Something mechanical that can't be fixed at the destination? In related news, @amykaynelson.bsky.social and I spent yesterday on a flight to nowhere.

On hold with Delta (again) because an e-certificate was mistakenly charged to my AmEx. They have no history of my multiple requests but I have ##. It's also the 2nd time this year I've had to threaten that I'm a travel writer and will include this in my story if it's not resolved. Waste of time.

I'm a huge fan of Appleton (Wis.)'s Mile of Music event and attended that one again just last weekend, my third consecutive year. I hope this Minneapolis Mile of Music is as successful, it's a blast. (h/t @twindependent.bsky.social) bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...
City will host 'Minneapolis Mile of Music' this month, with free concerts throughout town
Nearly two dozen venues will participate in the Aug. 19 event.

I was Rossโ plus-one to Noah Kahanโs St. Paul show two years ago. I did not ๐ฉ on the floor but I did question his mom jeans then.
Noah Kahan's songs are kind of empty, but he's quite likeable. An audience of more than 40,000 absolutely loved him tonight at Target Field. Here's my review, which includes a bit about how some of his fans shit on the floor at his shows. Gift link:
True story: we had to review this movie for my arts criticism class and my professor liked my review so much that he read it aloud to the class but I skipped that day to see Pearl Jam live at First Avenue

My kid has been biking the Denali trial in Alaska and off line all week but is apparently back in Washington now because he just sent this photo from the Mariners-Twins game.
Canโt we build the data center in Des Moines and ship the data in from there each day?

In the most Wisconsin thing ever, the cashier at the convenience store in Oshkosh where we took shelter today handed me a jacket in case we had to move from the bathroom to the beer cave. โItโs really cold in there.โ
A tornado tore through northeastern Wisconsin on Monday, part of a system of severe storms that knocked out power to tens of thousands of residents, downed trees, leveled buildings and shut down at least one city as it tried to emerge from the damage.
